Vascular dementia is a general term describing problems with reasoning, planning, judgment, memory and other thought processes caused by brain damage from impaired blood flow to your brain.

You can develop vascular dementia after a stroke blocks an artery in your brain, but strokes don't always cause vascular dementia. Whether a stroke affects your thinking and reasoning depends on your stroke's severity and location. Vascular dementia also can result from other conditions that damage blood vessels and reduce circulation, depriving your brain of vital oxygen and nutrients.

, Dr. Reisberg’s work has been pivotal in the development of two of the three current pharmaceutical treatment modalities for Alzheimer’s. He is developed the “Global Deterioration Scale” which is now used in many diagnoses and care settings as the rating scale.

Stage 1: Normal

Stage 1 Figure 1

At any age, persons may potentially be free of objective or subjective symptoms of cognition and functional decline and also free of associated behavioral and mood changes. We call these mentally healthy persons at any age, stage 1, or normal.

Stage 2: Normal aged forgetfulness

Half or more of the population of persons over the age of 65 experience subjective complaints of cognitive and/or functional difficulties. The nature of these subjective complaints is characteristic. Elderly persons with these symptoms believe they can no longer recall names as well as they could 5 or 10 years previously. They also frequently develop the conviction that they can no longer recall where they have placed things as well as previously. Subjectively experienced difficulties in concentration and in finding the correct word when speaking, are also common.

Stage 2 Figure 2

Various terms have been suggested for this condition, but normal aged forgetfulness is probably the most satisfactory terminology. These symptoms which, by definition, are not notable to intimates or other external observers of the person with normal aged forgetfulness, are generally benign. However, there is some recent evidence that persons with these symptoms do decline at greater rates than similarly aged persons and similarly healthy persons who are free of subjective complaints.

Stage 3: Mild cognitive impairment

Persons at this stage manifest deficits which are subtle, but which are noted by persons who are closely associated with the stage 3 subject. The subtle deficits may become manifest in diverse ways. For example, the person with mild cognitive impairment (MCl) may noticeably repeat queries. The capacity to perform executive functions also becomes compromised. Commonly, for persons who are still working, job performance may decline. For those who must master new job skills, decrements in these capacities may become evident. For example, the MCI subject may be unable to master new computer skills (Figure 3). MCI subjects who are not employed, but who plan complex social events, such as dinner parties, may manifest declines in their ability to organize such events.

Stage 3 Figure 3

. . .

The stage 4 patient shown has difficulty writing the correct date and the correct amount on the check (Figure 4). Consequently, her husband has to supervise this activity. The mean duration of this stage is 2 years.

Stage 4 Figure 4

Symptoms of impairment become evident in this stage. For example, seemingly major recent events, such as a recent holiday or a recent visit to a relative, may, or may not, be recalled. Similarly, overt mistakes in recalling the day of the week, month or season of the year may occur. Patients at this stage can still generally recall their correct current address. . .

In the absence of complicating medical pathology, the diagnosis of AD can be made with considerable certainty from the beginning of this stage, Studies indicate that the duration of this stage of mild AD is a mean of approximately 2 years.

In this stage, deficits are of sufficient magnitude as to prevent catastrophe-free, independent community survival. The characteristic functional change in this stage is incipient deficits in basic activities of daily life. This is manifest in a decrement in the ability to choose proper clothing to wear for the weather conditions and/or for the daily circumstances (occasions). Some patients begin to wear the same clothing day after day unless reminded to change. The spouse or other caregiver begins to counsel regarding the choice of clothing. The mean duration of this stage is 1.5 years.

. . .

Stage 6: Moderately severe Alzheimer’s disease

Stage 6a Figure 6

At this stage, the ability to perform basic activities of daily life becomes compromised. Functionally, five successive substages are identifiable. Initially, in stage 6a, patients, in addition to having lost the ability to choose their clothing without assistance, begin to require assistance in putting on their clothing properly. Unless supervised, patients mayput their clothing on backward, they may have difficulty putting their arm in the correct sleeve, or they may dress themselves in the wrong sequence (Figure 6).

In the stage of moderately severe Alzheimer’s disease, the cognitive deficits are of sufficient magnitude as to interfere with the ability to carry out basic activities of daily life. Generally, the earliest such deficit noted in this stage is decreased ability to put on clothing correctly without assistance. The total duration of the stage of moderately severe AD (stage 6a through 6e) is approximately 2.5 years.

. . .

Stage 6b Figure 7

Requires assistance adjusting the temperature of the bath water. ..

With the further evolution of AD, patients lose the ability to manage independently the mechanics of toileting correctly (stage 6c). Unless supervised, patients may place the toilet tissue in the wrong place. Many patients will forget to flush the toilet properly...

Stage 6c Figure 8

Requires assistance with cleanliness in toileting (Figure 8). After Alzheimer’s patients lose the ability to dress and bathe without assistance, they lose the ability to independently maintain cleanliness in toileting.

. . .

Stages 6d Figure 9

In this stage the patient’s cognitive deficits are generally of such magnitude that the patient may at times confuse their wife with their mother or otherwise misidentify or be uncertain of the identity of close family members (Figure 10). At the end of this stage, speech ability overtly breaks down.

.

Recall of current events is generally deficient to the extent that the patient cannot name the current national head of state or other, similarly prominent newsworthy figures....

Stage 6e Figure 10

Emotional changes generally become most overt and disturbing in this sixth stage of AD...

The mean duration of this sixth stage of AD is approximately 2.3 years. As this stage comes to an end, the patient, who is doubly incontinent and needs assistance with dressing and bathing, begins to manifest overt breakdown in the ability to articulate speech. Stuttering (verbigeration), neologisms, and/or an increased paucity of speech, become manifest.

Stage 7: Severe Alzheimer’s disease

At this stage, AD patients require continuous assistance with basic activities of daily life for survival. Six consecutive functional substages can be identified over the course of this final seventh stage. Early in this stage, speech has become so circumscribed, as to be limited to approximately a half dozen intelligible words or fewer in the course of an intensive contact and attempt at an interview with numerous queries (stage 7a). As this stage progresses, speech becomes even more limited to, at most, a single intelligible word (stage 7b). Once speech is lost, the ability to ambulate independently (without assistance), is invariably lost (stage 7c, Figure 11). \

Early in the course of this final stage of AD speech ability is limited to only a few words. Later, all intelligible speech is essentially lost, with speech limited to at most, a single intelligible word.

sorry must be the interwebs chopping out chunks of your posts. all i got was Hillary is the same age as Trump and not suffering from Dementia anywhere near as badly as the current British head of state. Who reached the point of forgetting who her children are and regularily shitting her pants some time ago.

if im not missing something in there. not sure the point. even if she forgot 90% of what she has done for the American public. she could still remember infinately more than Trump can about public service.

The Clintons have had bad habits. Bill is said to be a big cocaine user, he is a serial womanizer, and was once addicted to junk food.

Too little too late?

I saw how in Hong Kong about five years ago and he looked very healthy then

So it is not surprising if he has come down with diseases. Bill has purported said: "Hillary had more woman than I did", and she supposedlyhad an affair outside wedlock with Chelsea's father (who is said to be her senior partner, Webster Hubbel). If true, all those affairs, the rug-licking etc.cannot be good for her health.

On top of that, the pure stress of running a criminal enterprise,

If the alleged crimes are true the stress may have weakened the health of both Bill and HillaryAs Jim Fetzer says, Bill Clinton looks more sick than Hillary. It will be interesting to see who lasts longer, and if they can avoid prison for the remainingperiod (years? months? weeks?) of their lives

On Thursday, the HLN cable network announced they would cancel Dr. Drew Pinsky’s show, “Dr. Drew On Call,” giving little more details than to say they had “mutually agreed to air the final episode of his show on September 22.”

What the actual fuck is this. Posting an update tonight, Sunday, August 28, 2016 at 11:13pm local time as there are legal implications here. Simply linking to a video that questions Hillary Clinton's health should not get one's contributorship AND articles deleted without notice! That's censorship- which is a profoundly un-American behavior, in my view.

Nevetherless, the insinuation by Donald Trump and his supporters that she may be secretly sick has triggered a remarkable jump in searches on Google about Hillary Clinton's health. According to Google, for the week of Aug. 21 – Aug. 28, three of the top ten Hillary Clinton-related search terms were health-linked: “Hillary Clinton illness,” “Hillary Clinton health,” and “Hillary Clinton illness video.” (At least one YouTube video purporting to show Clinton's "symptoms" has more than 3 million views.) There were no policy-related searches in the top ten.

The week prior, only “Hillary Clinton health” made the top ten list, and before Aug. 7, it was not showing up in top Hillary searches at all.

"Every time I think about Trump I get allergic," said the Democratic nominee in the midst of her coughing outbreak during a Cleveland rally, Ohio. Behind Clinton, running mate Tim Kaine clapped while the audience laughed in response.

Kellyanne Conway, Trump's campaign manager, seized on the episode to tweak Clinton over her distance from the media -- including not holding a full-blown press conference since last December.

"Must be allergic to media. Finally spent a minute w/ them," Conway wrote on Twitter.

. . .

Clinton has dealt with coughing fits before, but Monday's among the most disruptive. She previously coughed excessively during a February 17 speech about race, in Harlem, New York, and in an earlier Iowa address, on January 25, at the Jewish Federation of Greater Des Moines.

"People have speculated that Trump might be a target for an assassination attempt (for obvious reasons), and I don't rule that out.

But I think it will be HRC who will be disposed of - she is used up, and is no longer good-for-task.And if the wheels of justice keep turning, then not only Hillary but other shadowy powers surrounding her will be exposed.Do you really think a full exposure of the shadowy puppet masters will be allowed to happen?Isn't disposing of HRC something they would try, to save their own skin?Take a look at the end of the movie Network (Link given)This is how real monsters, like Hillary's masters, behave"- post #18, above: http://www.greenenergyinvestors.com/index.php?showtopic=20950

Listen to the last 20 seconds of this Report

SR 1171 – Clinton – Severe Coughing Attack in Cleveland

Perhaps Bill has the same feeling as I do, that HRC will never be back in the White House,

and she may not even survive into 2017

The most cruel thing would be if her elites "pulled the plug on her" (in some unknown fashion) just before the election, so that they could prevent a Trump landslide.

A sudden death might give Obama the excuse he needs to postpone the election, and hold onto power.

Then, we might be looking at a likely Revolution, with Patriots in the Military support Trump, or some other leader

Hillary's Health Concerns Serious, Say Most Doctors Polled by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS)

.

TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/

-- Concerns about Hillary Clinton's health are "serious—could be disqualifying for the position of President of the U.S.," say nearly 71% of 250 physicians responding to an informal internet survey by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). About 20% said concerns were "likely overblown, but should be addressed as by full release of medical records." Only 2.7% responded that they were "just a political attack; I have confidence in the letter from her physician and see no cause for concern."

While more than 81% were aware of her history of a concussion, only 59% were aware of the cerebral sinus thrombosis, and 52% of the history of deep venous thrombosis.

More than 78% said the health concerns had received "not enough emphasis" in the media, and only 2.7% that there had been "too much emphasis."

Nearly two-thirds said that a physician who had a concern about a candidate's fitness to serve for health reasons should "make the concerns known to the public." Only 11% said a physician should "keep silent unless he had personally examined the patient," and 10% that the candidate's health was "off limits for public discussion."

Eighty-eight respondents submitted comments. One said that "the public interest will ALWAYS override either privacy rights or rights of self-determination in the case of a presidential candidate." Another mentioned Clinton's "so called loss of memory claimed during her FBI questioning about her email server." Beyond the specific questions, one remarked that "I think that the candidate should be honest with the public about his/her health!" The history of the concussion was concerning: "The public must watch the movie Concussion to realize that such an injury does affect thought process."
